The family contains about 50 genera and 600 described species, and the group was recently classified by Kolibáč into three subfamilies, Lophocaterinae, Peltinae and Trogossitinae. Among the lophocaterine genera, a genus Ancyrona Reitter includes 62 species in most parts of the world except the Nearctic region, and is divided into five informal species groups by Kolibáč. In this study, the genus Ancyrona and its a single species, A. diversa (Pic), is newly reported in the Korean fauna. A diagnosis, habitus photographs, and illustrations of female diagnostic characters are provided, with a key to Palaearctic species of the genus Ancyrona. Keywords: Coleoptera, Cleroidea, Trogossitidae, Ancyrona diversa, Korea INTRODUCTION Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), Incheon, Korea (specimen number EOWQIN0000013458). The genus Ancyrona Reitter, 1876 includes 62 species worldwide (Kolibáč, 2013; Yoshitomi and Asakawa, 2018).

G. de viedmal and M. L. els son' Several works on the order Coleoptera have appeared in recent years, some of them creating new superfamilies, others modifying the constitution of these or creating new families, finally others are genera1 revisions of the order. The authors believe that the current classification of this order, incorporating these changes would prove useful. The following outline is based mainly on Crowson (1960, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973) and Crowson and Viedma (1964). For characters used on classification see Viedma (1972) and for family synonyms Abdullah (1969). Major features of this conspectus are the rejection of the two sections of Adephaga (Geadephaga and Hydradephaga), based on Bell (1966) and the new sequence of Heteromera, based mainly on Crowson (1966), with adaptations.

  • Attraction of Ips Pini
    CHEMICAL ECOLOGY Attraction of Ips pini (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) and Its Predators to Natural Attractants and Synthetic Semiochemicals in Northern California: Implications for Population Monitoring 1, 2 3 2 2 2 4 D. L. DAHLSTEN, D. L. SIX, D. L. ROWNEY, A. B. LAWSON, N. ERBILGIN, AND K. F. RAFFA Environ. Entomol. 33(6): 1554Ð1561 (2004) ABSTRACT Effective management of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) relies on accurate assessments of pest and predator populations. Semiochemicals provide a powerful tool for attracting bark beetles and associated predators, but the extent to which trap catches reßect actual population densities are poorly understood. We conducted Þeld experiments in California during 2 consecutive yr to determine how attraction of Ips pini (Say) and its major predators to synthetic pheromones vary from each other and from attraction to natural volatiles emitted from colonized hosts. Synthetic lures consisted of different ratios of the (ϩ) and (Ð) enantiomers of ipsdienol, the primary pheromone component of I. pini, with or without lanierone, an additional component that synergizes attraction in some populations. I. pini was consistently attracted to either 3(ϩ)/97(Ϫ) ipsdienol or infested host plant material. Lanierone had no effect on the attraction of I. pini. Coleopteran predators showed a range of responses, more of which coincided with I. pini. Temnochila chlorodia (Mannerheim) (Trogositidae) was attracted to infested host materials and all synthetic lures. Enoclerus lecontei (Wolcott) (Cleridae) preferentially responded to higher ratios of (ϩ)-ipsdienol, and its attraction was strongly enhanced by lanierone. Enoclerus sphegeus F. was most attracted to infested hosts and exhibited a preference for (Ϫ)- over (ϩ)-ipsdienol.

ZooKeys 92 : 35 – 60 . doi: 10.3897/zookeys.92.1157 Abstract An “Orthrius-group” of genera is proposed, and defi ned to include Aphelochroa Quedenfeldt, 1885; Cari- dopus Schenkling, 1908; Dozocolletus Chevrolat, 1842; Gyponyx Gorham, 1883; Languropilus Pic, 1940; Orthrius Gorham, 1876; Pieleus Pic, 1940; Xenorthrius Gorham, 1892; plus three new genera Neorthrius gen. n., Nonalatus gen. n. and Pseudoastigmus gen. n. A phylogeny of the 11 constituent Orthrius-group genera (analysis of 22 morphological characters using Clerus Geoff roy as the out-group taxon was per- formed with TNT v1.1) is proposed. Four genera are synonymised: Burgeonus Pic, 1950, syn. n. (with Aphelochroa Quedenfeldt, 1885); Brinckodes Winkler, 1960, syn.
